For as long as I can remember i have been terified of the ocean. not because it's a huge body of water, but because of ostopi and jelly fish and other creatures with suckers and stingers. not sharks, or anything that can actually kill you. one time i was at the aquarium and had to sit down so i sat up againsed a tank that i thought had fish or something in it. when my friend, who knew i was terrified of octopi asked me what i was doing, I said sitting. She told me to get up slowly and not look back. Being stupid, or just curious, i looked behind me first. There was a giant octopus with his mouth right behind my head. In complete panick mode, i lept up, and, unfortunately, so did my lunch. I haven't been to the shore in years and any time i am near a body of water i begin to panick heavily.
